Goblins live in caves
Secret corners in the back
Grizzlies know they’re there
They are compatible in fact
Waiting to eat me and you...

THE GRIZZLY ATTACK

                                         Relentlessly  grizzlies search

                                         Bloody skin

                                         Ferret out each secret fear

A grizzly bear? Oh, my, oh, me.
Certain death if one you do see!
Can I outrun or climb a tree?
I’m not as fast with this giant knee.

Endangered species, humans you say?
Misunderstood, I had it the wrong way.
The grizzlies are the ones endangered today?
I wish I could find one. Come out to play!...

Crocododiles have their place too

You can't cuddle a crocodile
I strongly advise you not to bathe in the Nile.
If cuddle you must
out of affection or lust
choose a bunny or teddy bear.
Of big bears like grizzlies beware!
This world's a  very big place,
for all sorts there's plenty of space.
So what does Mother Nature expect?
That to crocodiles we at least show respect....

In Alaska, running loose
Are grizzlies, caribou and moose.
Eagles soar and whales cavort
And salmon fishing is a sport.

Glaciers calve and mountains rise,
Scenery to mesmerize.
Sadly, now, for tourist folk
The air is filled with thick gray smoke.

I am starting on a tour;
Don't know what will be in store,
But I'm hoping skies will clear
And some wildlife will appear.

Nature - lift that smoky noose.
I'd really love to see a moose!...
